Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 184 One-Sided (4,000 words)

Now that you mention it, it does look very similar.

Xu Xiaoyan nodded seriously.

"But if we're really going to talk about it, Yuhao is the most like a boss, isn't he?"

The others nodded in agreement.

Yuhao looks like the big boss; they are at most minor villains under the boss.

"Alright, let's stop talking about this and get ready to go on stage."

Yuan Enhui shook his head, glanced at Xu Yucheng beside him, and then turned his gaze forward.

ten minutes later.

"The competition is about to begin. All contestants, please proceed to the competition venue immediately."

A lifeless, mechanical female voice came over the loudspeaker, echoing faintly in the empty waiting area.

Ahead, two enormous archways slowly opened, and the already noisy sound became even more turbulent, creating a breathtakingly enthusiastic atmosphere.

Fourteen students from Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy walked into the arena together.

This is a magnificent building modeled after an ancient colosseum, with a plaza over 1,500 meters in diameter, exuding an imposing aura. The surrounding stands can accommodate more than 150,000 people, making it the largest on the continent. However, at this moment, only about one-third of the seats are occupied—all occupied by teachers and students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

In the VIP section, Lan Muzi and her two companions were also invited in, and soon they saw the three people in front of them.

Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena... Gu Rachel.

Lan Muzi lingered on Huo Yuhao and Gu Rachel for a moment.

Transmitting the spirit, Huo Yuhao.

Golden Princess, Rachel.

Two of the candidate Spirit Transmission Envoys from the Spirit Transmission Tower headquarters have arrived.

"Please, come in." The teacher from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy gestured, inviting them to take a seat.

Lan Muzi snapped out of her reverie, nodded slightly, and led her companions to their seats.

Huo Yuhao remained calm, seemingly unaware of the gazes behind him, focusing intently on the arena.

Rachel turned her head slightly, her golden hair gleaming softly under the light, a strange smile playing on her lips.

Lan Muzi, Tang Yinmeng... She remembered that they were disciples of Long Yeyue, the Light and Dark Douluo, right?
If these two went to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters and saw the claw mark left by Xiong Jun, it would be quite interesting...

"Xie Xie, aren't you very good with words? Use your words to defeat them!"

"Go Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

"Squad Leader Yuanen, I admire you!"

On the field, Le Zhengyu unconsciously frowned. The overwhelming hostility was almost tangible, and the unified cheers from the stands were all for the opponents. This inheritor of the Angelic Martial Soul rubbed his nose with a wry smile: "It seems we are indeed not well-received here."

Long Chen stared at the group opposite him, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Then defeat them and silence those students."

Isn't it a good idea to establish one's status in the soul master world by stepping on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?
Ye Xinglan looked at the opposing team's lineup, her gaze sweeping over five of them, and frowned.

—I never expected that our opponent would be them.

Yuan Enhui and Le Zhengyu stood at the very front of the group, their eyes locked in a tense standoff. Even before the competition began, the atmosphere was already one of fierce rivalry.

Is it because of the martial spirit?

Both frowned, but at the referee's request, they exchanged names.

"Le Zhengyu".

“Yuan En Ye Hui”.

……

"Ye Xinglan".

"Xie Xie."

After both sides exchanged names, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The lights on the field suddenly came on, the noise in the stands gradually subsided, and everyone's attention was drawn to the center.

"Five, four, three, two, one, the game begins!"

With the referee's command, both sides simultaneously revealed their spirit rings and martial spirits, and a large number of yellow and purple spirit rings floated in the air.

A longsword radiating a bright yellow light appeared in Ye Xinglan's palm. The blade seemed to be adorned with countless shimmering stars, dazzling even in the daytime.

Star God Sword!
The moment Ye Xinglan grasped the Star God Sword, her aura merged with the sword, and she entered a state of perfect harmony between body and sword. Her imposing presence was no less than that of a four-ring Soul Master, making her a formidable opponent worthy of attention.

However, compared to this "old rival," Tang Wulin and his team, along with the audience, are more focused on the other three.

A pair of angel wings appeared behind Le Zhengyu, and four dazzling soul rings burst forth from his feet, flowing endlessly around his body.

Purple, purple, purple, purple!
Long Chen suddenly took a step forward, and a clear dragon roar suddenly resounded from within his body. His figure instantly grew three inches taller, his robes fluttered without wind, and four purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet.

A smile appeared on Duan Hunxiao's lips as a green flute appeared in his hand, surrounded by four soul rings, two yellow and two purple.

Three four-ring Soul Masters, two of whom had purple Soul Rings, which was somewhat unexpected by the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The guys from Shrek Academy this time... are really powerful.

Fortunately, the seven students from their academy were all of similar strength. Yuanen Yehui, Tang Wulin, and Xu Xiaoyan all had purple spirit rings. However, the latter two were currently three-ring spirit masters, so their cultivation levels couldn't match their opponents. The others had normal spirit ring configurations...

Oh, no, there's an abnormal soul ring configuration.

Xu Yucheng, with a Soul Ring configuration of four Yellows.

audience:"……"

To be honest, the spirit ring ratio is really poor; to be honest, becoming a four-ring spirit master at the age of fourteen and a half is already quite good, which makes one feel complicated.

"The Holy Dragon of Light? The Holy Angel? Three Soul Masters?"

Lin Jiayi frowned.

It seems their college doesn't have a high chance of winning.

While the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were filled with worry, the battle had already begun, and Xu Lizhi took the lead in distributing steamed buns to his teammates.

After eating Xu Lizhi's steamed buns, Long Chen lightly touched the ground with his toes and suddenly rose into the air like an arrow, rushing towards the direction where Yuan Enhui was.

His second spirit ring suddenly lit up, the Dragon's Roar.

The surging sound waves were almost tangible, surging around him. Pale golden light and shadow appeared and disappeared, gradually outlining the silhouette of a giant dragon. The magnificent aura of light burst forth like a volcanic eruption.

His target was none other than Yuan En Ye Hui.

The opponent's cultivation level is obviously the strongest in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so defeating the opponent is naturally a bonus. In that case, he will have the opportunity to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and also enter the inner courtyard, which is the best of both worlds.

However, when Xie Xie and the others saw Long Chen's martial soul clearly, they all turned to look at Tang Wulin, and a meaningful smile appeared on their faces.

It's a dragon!
"Wu Lin, I'm leaving him to you."

Xie Xie winked and said.

Tang Wulin nodded, a fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, and stepped forward. The three purple soul rings around him suddenly disappeared, replaced by a dazzling golden halo.

Fine, golden dragon scales covered his entire body like a tide, reflecting a chilling glint in the sunlight. Tang Wulin's right arm muscles bulged, and when he spread his five fingers, five golden claws, each over a foot long, shot out with a clang, their tips gleaming with a terrifying sharpness. "Roar—"

Before Long Chen's dragon roar could fully unfold, it abruptly stopped as if his throat had been choked. He was horrified to discover that the pale golden dragon phantom surrounding him was trembling violently, beginning to dissipate as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

The tremor that came from the depths of his blood made him freeze in his tracks.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Wulin's golden dragon claw tore through the air and arrived. Wherever the claw blade passed, Long Chen's aura of light melted away like ice and snow, and his protective soul power was torn open with five ferocious cracks.

boom!
With a dull thud, Long Chen was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, skimming more than ten meters across the arena before finally coming to a stop.

The whole place fell silent for a moment.

Neither the audience nor Long Chen's companions expected the outcome to be like this. However, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy cheered as they saw that they had won first.

"how is this possible?"

Beside Lan Muzi, Tang Yinmeng exclaimed in surprise.

"That was... Martial Soul suppression? What kind of Martial Soul can suppress the Holy Dragon of Light?"

And what's with that golden spirit ring? Is it the legendary million-year spirit ring?

Compared to the shock of others, the Shrek Academy students still on the field felt it was all too real.

They never expected that Long Chen, one of the top two strongest members of their team, would be defeated so easily. The opposing boy hadn't shown much strength, only made one move, and their teammate was immediately defeated... Is this reasonable?
"Long Chen... are you an undercover agent sent by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? You're actually from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, aren't you? You were eliminated in one encounter... this is too fake."

Le Zhengyu's lips twitched, and he secretly complained in his heart, but he did not give up the fight and took the initiative to meet Yuan Enyehui, who had transformed into a Titan Giant Ape.

Long Chen has knelt, so only he can fight Yuanen Yehui. They still have two Soul Masters on their side, so they might have a fighting chance.

In the center of the arena, Yue Zhengyu and Yuan Enhui quickly engaged in a fierce battle. Angel wings unfolded, and the holy light clashed violently with the berserk aura of the Titan Giant Ape, unleashing a deafening roar.

Seeing this, the others took different actions.

The third purple spirit ring at Xu Xiaoyan's feet suddenly lit up, and a blizzard immediately spread across the entire area.

The moment the snow covered the field, Xie Xie disappeared silently, and Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, and Xu Yucheng rushed forward together.

On Shrek's side, Duan Hunxiao twirled his hand, holding a jade-green flute to his lips, and his fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up. The melodious flute music transformed into tangible sound waves, sweeping towards the opposite side.

Immediately, Tang Wulin and the others felt dizzy, and the blizzard released by Xu Xiaoyan spread more slowly.

Seeing this, Ye Xinglan and Bai Hanying pressed forward, intending to seize the opportunity to turn the tide.

He Xiaopeng also wielded a large, gleaming silver hammer, which he slammed down towards Tang Wulin. A golden light flashed in Tang Wulin's eyes as he forcefully steadied himself amidst the dizziness. Facing the hurtling hammer, he didn't retreat but advanced, his right arm unleashing a powerful golden dragon claw to meet the attack!

"clang--!"

Amidst the deafening clang of metal clashing, He Xiaopeng felt a sharp pain in his hand, and the gleaming silver hammer was almost knocked away.

Duan Hunxiao's eyes narrowed, and he was about to make a move to suppress it when suddenly—

A mental shockwave, sharp as a sword, pierced through the air!

Uh!
He groaned, his movements instantly freezing. He looked in horror at the seemingly frail blue-haired girl in the distance—Xu Xiaoyan was withdrawing the golden light from her eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Mental shock? Mental power approaching the Spirit Sea Realm?"

A storm raged in Duanhunxiao's heart.

Just now, if he hadn't also approached the Spirit Sea Realm, he might have been in danger.

Isn't that girl a weapon spirit? With such strong mental power, and the ability to use a self-created spirit skill of the mental impact type, he would believe it if you said she had a mental attribute...

As the owner of the Musical Martial Soul, he is very strong in crowd control, and can suppress seven opponents without any problem. However, once interrupted, the time required to accumulate and unleash a burst of power will increase.

As soon as he stopped moving, the blizzard that Xu Xiaoyan unleashed completely covered the area without any obstruction.

"Although it's not as strong as the Blizzard that Nar used to assist me with when I trained, it's more than enough to obstruct the line of sight."

Xu Xiaoyan thought to herself.

As the snowstorm raged, two shadowy figures that had silently crept up behind Duan Hunxiao and Xu Lizhi suddenly launched their attack!

It was Xie Xie and his clone; Xu Xiaoyan's blizzard was used to conceal his identity.

Xie Xie's clone quickly approached Xu Lizhi, catching the latter somewhat off guard. However, Xu Lizhi reacted well, quickly using the Ghost Shadow Step to step back and looking at Xie Xie with a complicated expression.

Xie Xie himself emerged from the wind and snow like a ghost, his gleaming dagger flashing as he slashed out, interrupting Duanhunxiao's movements before he could play the next note.

Duan Hunxiao twirled his long flute, which struck Xie Xie's dagger, deflecting the attack.

"Why are you so skilled in physical combat when you possess a musical martial spirit? Are you planning to use your flute to fight people?"

Xie Xie didn't fight head-on. He planned to use speed and words to distract this control-type Soul Master and buy time for other battlefields. So, after stepping back, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Could it be that the food in your academy's cafeteria is so bad that you, a flute player, have become a martial monk from hunger?"

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

Duan Hunxiao's eyes twitched, and the jade flute in his hand suddenly emitted a ghostly light.

Xie Xie remained completely unfazed, gliding away like a fish while continuing his tirade: "Hey, getting impatient! Does Shrek Academy train street performers? This flute playing is even better than the old masters under the overpasses!"

"But that won't work. Watch me use my uppercut to cut down the bottom lane..."

"Shut up!!!" Duan Hunxiao roared, unable to contain his anger any longer.

Xie Xie ignored him completely.

His teacher said that since he was good at verbal combat, he should use it. He was a Soul Master, and he was holding off a Soul Sect Master. What more could he want?
Next, Xie Xie not only continued, but his trash talk increased, even dragging Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan, and others into the fray. This distracted the other fighters, almost causing them to reveal their weaknesses.

Finally, Duan Hunxiao could no longer bear it, and his third soul ring suddenly lit up.

Third Soul Skill: Nine Revolutions of Soul Severance!

The sharp sound of the flute transformed into nine sonic blades that pierced the air. Xie Xie, however, did not retreat but advanced, his footwork changing, leaving three afterimages in his wake: "Is that all? My neighbor's auntie's cursing is more powerful than yours!"

In the VIP section, Rachel Gu chuckled: "This kid's mouth is much sharper than his dagger."

Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly.

What is this, a tank that can dodge and taunt?
However, it is indeed very meaningful for Xie Xie to keep that Soul Master who is good at crowd control engaged.

Without the Soul Master's crowd control abilities, Shrek Academy would be helpless on other battlefields...

After all, Shrek Academy is currently in a six-against-seven situation.

Lan Muzi frowned and sighed inwardly.

After Long Chen was defeated by Tang Wulin in one move, the rhythm of the match fell into the hands of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

With his fully awakened martial soul, Le Zhengyu and Yuanen Yehui were evenly matched, but they fought cautiously, and it was difficult to tell who was better or worse in the short term.

However, the situation on other battlefields is not so optimistic.

Without support, He Xiaopeng was facing Tang Wulin alone and was about to be defeated. If it weren't for the spatial attribute attached to his martial soul, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.

But Ye Xinglan and Bai Hanying... they had four enemies in front of them!
Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword trembled violently in the wind and snow, yet the three-inch gleam emanating from its blade seemed somewhat powerless. Before her and Bai Hanying, Wang Jinxi's Bone Dragon King Martial Soul stood menacingly, Zhang Yangzi hovered in the air blocking their retreat, and Xu Yucheng's Dark Demon Scythe gleamed with an eerie light—further away, Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul had already lit up with the light of its control soul skill.

Bai Hanying: "..."

Now, there's trouble.

With Xinglan's strength, they could contend with a four-ring Soul Master, but facing so many opponents, they were likely... doomed to defeat.
